Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(1) Nature of Operations
Affinity Bancshares, Inc. (the “Company”) is a bank holding company, headquartered in Covington, Georgia. The Company has one operating subsidiary, Affinity Bank, National Association (the “Bank”, and formerly named “Newton Federal Bank”), a national bank, conducting banking activities primarily in Newton County, Georgia and surrounding counties and in Cobb and Fulton Counties, Georgia and surrounding counties, and originating dental practice loans and indirect automobile loans throughout the Southeastern United States. Effective September 15, 2023, the Bank converted from a federal savings association to a national bank, and as a result, the Company became a bank holding company instead of a savings and loan holding company. The Bank offers such customary banking services as consumer and commercial checking accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, mortgage, commercial and consumer loans, including indirect automobile loans, money transfers and a variety of other banking services. The Company was incorporated in 2020 to be the successor corporation to Community First Bancshares, Inc., a federal corporation, upon completion of the second-step mutual-to-stock conversion (the “Conversion”) of Community First Bancshares, MHC, the top tier mutual holding company of Community First Bancshares, Inc. Community First Bancshares, Inc. was the former mid-tier holding company for the Bank (formerly named Newton Federal Bank). Prior to completion of the Conversion, approximately
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), the financial position of the Company as of September 30, 2023 and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the periods presented. The interim consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year or for any other period.
Use of Estimates – The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Material estimates common to the banking industry that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term include, but are not limited to, the determination of the allowance for credit losses, the valuation of other real estate acquired in connection with foreclosure or in satisfaction of loans and valuation allowances associated with the realization of deferred tax assets, which are based on future taxable income.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies – The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to GAAP and general practices within the banking industry. There have been no material changes or developments in the application of principles or in our evaluation of the accounting estimates and the underlying assumptions or methodologies that we believe to be Critical Accounting Policies as disclosed in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in the Company’s Form 10-K.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share are calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of shares adjusted for the dilutive effect of common stock awards (outstanding stock options), if any.

* Cumulative quarterly per share performance may not equal annual per share totals due to the effects of the amount and timing of capital increases. When computing earnings per share for an interim period, the denominator is based on the weighted average shares outstanding during the interim period, and not on an annualized weighted average basis. Accordingly, the sum of the earnings per share data for the quarters will not necessarily equal the year-to-date earnings per share data.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards
On
The Company adopted ASC 326 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost and off-balance-sheet credit exposures. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2023 are presented under ASC 326 while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with previously applicable GAAP. The Company adopted this ASU on January 1, 2023, and recorded a one-time entry to retained earnings of $
In January 2023, the Company adopted ASU 2022-02, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures” (“ASU 2022-02”), which eliminated the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (“TDRs”) while enhancing disclosure requirements for certain loan refinancing and restructurings by creditors when a borrower is experiencing financial difficulty. This guidance was applied on a prospective basis. Upon adoption of this guidance, the Bank no longer establishes a specific reserve for modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. Instead, these modifications are included in their respective cohort and a historical loss rate is applied to the current loan balance to arrive at the quantitative baseline portion of the Allowance. Adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements; however, it resulted in new disclosures. See Note 3 for the new disclosures.
Allowance for Credit Losses ("ACL") - Loans
The CECL framework requires an estimate of expected credit losses for the remaining estimated life of the financial asset using historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The following discussion provides a description of the methodology applied to calculate the ACL under CECL.
The ACL is a valuation account that is deducted from the loans' amortized cost basis to present the net amount expected to be collected on the loans. Loans are charged off against the ACL when management believes the uncollectibility of a loan balance is confirmed. Accrued interest receivable is excluded from the estimate of credit losses.

AFFINITY BANCSHARES, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Management determines the ACL balance using relevant available information from internal and external sources, relating to past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit behaviors along with model judgments provide the basis for the estimation of expected credit losses. Adjustments to modeled loss estimates may be made for differences in current loan-specific risk characteristics such as differences in underwriting standards, portfolio mix, delinquency level, or term as well as for changes in environmental conditions, such as changes in economic conditions, property values, or other relevant factors. For the majority of loans and leases, the ACL is calculated using a discounted cash flow methodology applied at a loan level with a one-year reasonable and supportable forecast period and a two-year straight-line reversion period.
The ACL-loans is measured on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist. The Bank has identified the following portfolio segments and calculates the ACL for each using a discounted cash flow methodology at the loan level, with loss rates, prepayment assumptions and curtailment assumptions driven by each loan’s collateral type:
Commercial (secured by real estate - owner occupied)- Loans in this category are susceptible to business failure and general economic conditions.
Commercial (secured by real estate - non-owner occupied) - Common risks for this loan category are declines in general economic conditions, declines in real estate value, declines in occupancy rates, and lack of suitable alternative use for the property.
Commercial & industrial - Risks to this loan category include the inability to monitor the condition of the collateral, which often consists of inventory, accounts receivable and other non-real estate assets. Equipment and inventory obsolescence can also pose a risk. Declines in general economic conditions and other events can cause cash flows to fall to levels insufficient to service debt.
Construction, land, and acquisition and development - Risks common to construction loans are cost overruns, changes in market demand for property, inadequate long-term financing arrangements and declines in real estate values.
Residential mortgage - Residential mortgage loans are susceptible to weakening general economic conditions, increases in unemployment rates and declining real estate values.
Consumer installment - Risks common to consumer direct loans include unemployment and changes in local economic conditions as well as the inability to monitor collateral consisting of personal property.
When management determines that foreclosure is probable or when the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty at the reporting date and repayment is expected to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of the collateral, expected credit losses are based on the fair value of the collateral at the reporting date, adjusted for selling costs as appropriate.
When the discounted cash flow method is used to determine the ACL, management adjusts the effective interest rate used to discount expected cash flows to incorporate expected prepayments. The ACL on a TDR is measured using the same method as all other loans held for investment, except that the original interest rate is used to discount the expected cash flows, not the rate specified within the restructuring.
Determining the Contractual Term: Expected credit losses are estimated over the contractual term of the loans, adjusted for expected prepayments when appropriate. The contractual term excludes expected extensions, renewals, and modifications unless either of the following applies: management has a reasonable expectation at the reporting date that a TDR will be executed with an individual borrower or the extension or renewal options are included in the original or modified contract at the reporting date and are not unconditionally cancellable by the Bank.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Off-Balance Sheet Credit Exposures
The Bank estimates expected credit losses over the contractual period in which the Bank is exposed to credit risk via a contractual obligation to extend credit, unless that obligation is unconditionally cancellable by the Bank. The allowance for credit losses on off-balance sheet credit exposures is adjusted through provision for credit loss expense. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
funded over its estimated life. The estimate is influenced by historical loss experience, adjusted for current risk characteristics, and economic forecasts.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Investment Securities Available-for-Sale
For available-for-sale securities in an unrealized loss position, the Bank first assesses whether it intends to sell, or it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. If either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met, the security's amortized cost basis is written down to fair value through income. For available-for-sale securities that do not meet the aforementioned criteria, the Bank evaluates whether the decline in fair value has resulted from credit losses or other factors. In making this assessment, management considers the extent to which fair value is less than amortized cost, any changes to the rating of the securities by a rating agency, and adverse conditions specifically related to the security, among other factors. If this assessment indicates that a credit loss exists, the present value of cash flows expected to be collected form the security are compared to the amortized cost basis of the security. If the present value of cash flows expected to be collected is less than the amortized cost basis, a credit loss exists and an allowance for credit losses is recorded for the credit loss, limited by the amount that the fair value is less than the amortized cost basis. Any impairment that has not been recorded through an allowance for credit losses is recognized in the comprehensive income. Accrued interest receivable on available-for-sale securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. The guidance under ASC Topic 326 had no impact on the Bank’s available-for-sale debt securities at January 1, or September 30, 2023.
Changes in the allowance for credit losses are recorded as provision of (or reversal of) credit loss expense. Losses are charged against the allowance when management believes the uncollectibility of an available-for-sale security is confirmed or when either of the criteria regarding intent or requirement to sell is met.
Allowance for Credit Losses - Investment Securities Held-to-Maturity
Management measures expected credit losses on held-to-maturity securities on a collective basis by major security type. The estimate of expected credit losses considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Accrued interest receivable on held-to-maturity debt securities is excluded from the estimate of credit losses. Management classifies the held-to-maturity portfolio into the following major security types: U.S. Treasuries, government agency mortgage-backed, and corporate securities. The U.S. Treasuries and the Government agency mortgage-backed securities held by the Bank are issues by U.S. government entities and agencies. These securities are either explicitly or implicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government, are highly rated by major rating agencies, and have a long history of no credit losses. The corporate securities are comprised of investments in corporate bonds whose issuers are primarily banks. At September 30, 2023, these securities are all rated as investment grade.

Debt securities issued by U.S. government agencies, U.S. government-sponsored enterprises ("GSEs"), and the U.S. Treasury, including notes and mortgage backed securities, accounted for the majority of the available-for-sale portfolio as of September 30, 2023, and the Bank expects no credit losses on these securities, given the explicit and implicit guarantees provided by the U.S. federal government. The available-for-sale portfolio also includes corporate securities, but are underwritten as loans with features that are typically found in commercial loans. Accordingly, the Bank monitors the credit quality of these corporate bonds through quarterly credit reviews to determine impairment, if any. The decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates, and not credit quality, and the Bank does not have the intent to sell the U.S. government and agencies debt securities and the corporate securities and it is likely that it will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, the Bank does not consider impairments on these securities to be credit related as of September 30, 2023.

allowance for credit losses associated with these securities was calculated using a Moody's report on the cumulative default rates of corporate issuers.
The amortized cost and estimated fair value of investment securities available-for-sale and held-to-maturity at September 30, 2023, by contractual maturity, are shown below. Maturities of mortgage-backed securities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to call or prepay certain obligations with or without call or prepayment penalties. Therefore, these securities are not included in the maturity categories. (in thousands)

The Bank grants loans and extensions of credit to individuals and a variety of firms and corporations located primarily in the Atlanta, Georgia MSA. A substantial portion of the loan portfolio is collateralized by improved and unimproved real estate and is dependent upon the real estate market. The Bank also conducts lending within professional markets, with a primary focus on the dental industry in Georgia and adjoining states. The majority of these loans are commercial and industrial credits for practice acquisitions and equipment financing with the remainder being owner-occupied real estate. Accrued interest on loans totaled $
The adoption of ASU 2016-13 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) did not result in an increase to allowance for credit losses for loans for the Bank.

The Bank individually evaluates all loans for impairment that are on nonaccrual status or are rated substandard (as described below). Additionally, all loan modifications to a borrower with financial difficulty are evaluated for impairment. A loan is considered impaired when, based on current events and circumstances, it is probable that all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan will not be collected. Impaired loans are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows, discounted at the loan’s effective interest rate, at the loan’s observable market price, or the fair value of the collateral

if the loan is collateral dependent. Interest payments received on impaired loans are applied as a reduction of the outstanding principal balance.
Collateral-Dependent Loans
We classify a loan as collateral-dependent when our borrower is experiencing financial difficulty, and we expect repayment to be provided substantially through the operation or sale of collateral. Our commercial loans have collateral that is comprised of real estate and business assets. Our consumer loans have collateral that is substantially comprised of residential real estate. There were no significant changes in the extent to which collateral secures our collateral-dependent loans during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and we had $

On January 1, 2023, the Bank adopted ASU 2022-02, which eliminated the accounting guidance for TDRs by creditors and enhanced the disclosure requirements for certain loan modifications to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. There was

The Bank categorizes loans into risk categories based on relevant information about the ability of borrowers to service their debt such as: current financial information, historical payment experience, credit documentation, public information and current economic trends, among other factors. The Bank analyzes loans individually by classifying the loans as to credit risk. This analysis is performed on a continuous basis. The Bank uses the following definitions for its risk ratings:
Special Mention. Loans have potential weaknesses that may, if not corrected, weaken or inadequately protect the Bank's credit position at some future date. Weaknesses are generally the result of deviation from prudent lending practices, such as over advances on collateral. Credits in this category should, within a 12-month period, move to Pass if improved or drop to Substandard if poor trends continue.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Substandard. Inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or by the collateral pledged, if any. Loans have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses such as primary source of repayment is gone or severely impaired or cash flow is insufficient to reduce debt. There is a distinct possibility that the Bank will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
Doubtful. Loans have the same weaknesses as those classified Substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full highly questionable and improbable. The likelihood of a loss on an asset or portion of an asset classified Doubtful is high.
Loss. Loans considered uncollectible and of such little value that the continuance as a Bank asset is not warranted. This does not mean that the loan has no recovery or salvage value, but rather the asset should be charged off even though partial recovery may be possible in the future.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Loans not meeting the criteria above that are analyzed individually as part of the above described process are considered to be Pass rated loans. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category and year of origination of loans by class of loans is as follows: (in thousands)

(9) Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures
The Company utilizes fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. From time to time, the Company may be required to record at fair value other assets on a nonrecurring basis, such as impaired loans and other real estate owned. These nonrecurring fair value adjustments typically involve application of the lower of cost or market accounting or write-downs of individual assets. Additionally, the Company is required to disclose, but not record, the fair value of other financial instruments.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The Company groups assets and liabilities at fair value in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:
Level 1 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.
Level 2 – Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.
Level 3 – Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Valuation techniques include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques.
21
AFFINITY BANCSHARES, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Following is a description of valuation methodologies used for assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Investment Securities Available-for-Sale
Available-for-sale securities are recorded at market value. Fair value measurement is based upon quoted prices, if available. If quoted prices are not available, fair values are measured using independent pricing models or other model-based valuation techniques such as the present value of future cash flows, adjusted for the security’s credit rating, prepayment assumptions and other factors such as credit loss assumptions. Level 1 securities include those traded on an active exchange, such as the New York Stock Exchange, and U.S. Treasury securities that are traded by dealers or brokers in active over-the-counter market funds. Level 2 securities include mortgage-backed securities issued by government sponsored enterprises and state, county and municipal bonds. Securities classified as Level 3 include asset-backed securities in less liquid markets.
Other Investments
The carrying value of other investments includes FHLB stock and FNBB stock and approximates fair value.
Loans
The Company does not record loans at fair value on a recurring basis. However, from time to time, a loan is considered impaired and a specific reserve may be required to be established within the allowance for credit losses. Loans for which it is probable that payment of interest and principal will not be made in accordance with the contractual terms of the loan agreement are considered impaired. Once a loan is identified as individually impaired, management measures impairment in accordance with GAAP. The fair value of impaired loans is estimated using one of three methods, including collateral value, market value of similar debt, and discounted cash flows. Those impaired loans not requiring an allowance represent loans for which the fair value of the expected repayments or collateral exceed the recorded investments in such loans. In accordance with GAAP, impaired loans where an allowance is established based on the fair value of collateral require classification in the fair value hierarchy. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is used or an appraisal is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Company records the impaired loan as nonrecurring Level 3. For disclosure purposes, the fair value of fixed rate loans which are not considered impaired is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings. For unimpaired variable rate loans, the carrying amount is a reasonable estimate of fair value for disclosure purposes.
Other Real Estate Owned
Other real estate properties are adjusted to fair value upon transfer of the loans to other real estate. Subsequently, other real estate assets are carried at fair value less estimated selling costs. Fair value is based upon independent market prices, appraised values of the collateral or management’s estimation of the value of the collateral. When the fair value of the collateral is based on an observable market price, the Bank records the other real estate as nonrecurring Level 2. When an appraised value is used or an appraisal is not available or management determines the fair value of the collateral is further impaired below the appraised value and there is no observable market price, the Bank records the other real estate asset as nonrecurring Level 3.
Bank Owned Life Insurance
The carrying value of the cash surrender value of life insurance reasonably approximates fair value.
Deposits
The fair value of savings accounts, interest bearing checking accounts, non-interest bearing checking accounts and market rate checking accounts is the amount payable on demand at the reporting date, while the fair value of fixed maturity certificates of deposit is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which comparable certificates would be issued.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
FHLB Advances and Other Borrowings
FHLB advances are carried at cost and the fair value is obtained from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. Federal Funds
Purchased are carried at cost and because they are overnight funds, the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value.
Commitments to Extend Credit
Commitments to extend credit are short-term and, therefore, the carrying value and the fair value are considered immaterial for disclosure.
Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The Company’s only assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis are available-for-sale securities that had fair values of approximately $
Assets Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company may be required, from time to time, to measure certain assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in accordance with GAAP. These include assets that are measured at the lower of cost or market that were recognized at fair value below cost at the end of the period.

AFFINITY BANCSHARES, INC.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
Limitations
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates do not reflect any premium or discount that could result from offering for sale at one time the Company’s entire holdings of a particular financial instrument. Because no market exists for a significant portion of the Company’s financial instruments, fair value estimates are based on many judgments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Fair value estimates are based on existing on and off-balance sheet financial instruments without attempting to estimate the value of anticipated future business and the value of assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments. Significant assets and liabilities that are not considered financial instruments include deferred income taxes and premises and equipment. In addition, the tax ramifications related to the realization of the unrealized gains and losses can have a significant effect on fair value estimates and have not been considered in the estimates.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
General
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 and for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is intended to assist in understanding the financial condition and results of operations of the Company. The information contained in this section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in Part I, Item 1, of this report on Form 10-Q.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements, which can be identified by the use of words such as “estimate,” “project,” “believe,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “assume,” “plan,” “seek,” “expect,” “will,” “may,” “should,” “indicate,” “would,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “target” and words of similar meaning. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:
These forward-looking statements are based on our current beliefs and expectations and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on such statements. We are under no duty to and do not take any obligation to update any forward-looking statements after the date of this report.

25
Because of these and other uncertainties, our actual future results may be materially different from the results indicated by these forward-looking statements.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of our accounting policies is described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”
Comparison of Financial Condition at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022
Total assets increased $64.1 million, or 8.1%, to $855.4 million at September 30, 2023 from $791.3 million at December 31, 2022, due primarily to an increase in cash and cash equivalents as well as an increase in loans.
Cash and cash equivalents increased $35.2 million, or 133.6%, to $61.5 million at September 30, 2023 from $26.3 million at December 31, 2022 primarily due to cash received from an increase in deposits as well as an increase in Federal Home Loan Bank advances as we have increased our levels of liquidity in response to recent market events.
Net loans increased $14.9 million, or 2.3%, to $651.8 million at September 30, 2023 from $636.9 million at December 31, 2022. Construction loans increased $9.5 million, or 25.5%, to $46.6 million at September 30, 2023 from $37.2 million at December 31, 2022. Non-owner-occupied commercial real estate loans increased $4.6 million, or 3.5%, while one- to four-family residential real estate loans increased $4.2 million, or 8.2% and consumer installment loans increased $3.9 million or 3.5%. We experienced decreases in commercial and industrial loans ($4.4 million, or 3.0%) and owner-occupied commercial real estate loans ($3.0 million, or 1.9%).
Total investment securities increased $9.5 million, or 13.0%, to $82.2 million at September 30, 2023, from $72.7 million at December 31, 2022, as we continued to invest excess cash in securities in an effort to increase yield.
26
Total deposits increased $51.9 million, or 7.9%, to $709.0 million at September 30, 2023 from $657.2 million at December 31, 2022, reflecting an increase in certificates of deposit. Certificates of deposit increased $96.3 million, or 76.5%, to $222.3 million at September 30, 2023 from $126.0 million at December 31, 2022. This was partially offset by a decrease in non-time deposits of $44.5 million, or 8.4%, as we believe customers increased deposits in higher-yielding accounts during the current interest rate environment. The certificates of deposits increase included brokered deposits at September 30, 2023, totaling $107.3 million. Brokered deposits have an average life of 2.6 years and an average interest rate of 4.87%. The loan-to-deposit ratio at September 30, 2023 was 93.2%, as compared to 98.3% at December 31, 2022.
We had $20.0 million of FHLB advance and no other borrowings at September 30, 2023, compared to $10.0 million of Federal Home Loan Bank advances at December 31, 2022. We increased borrowings during the first quarter of 2023 to increase our liquidity position in response to recent market events, including the closures of Signature Bank and Silicon Valley Bank. During the second quarter, $15.0 million of FHLB borrowings matured, and an additional $20.0 million of FHLB borrowings was prepaid that was issued in first quarter of 2023.
Stockholders’ equity increased by $1.4 million, or 1.2% to $118.5 million at September 30, 2023 compared to $117.1 million at December 31, 2022, primarily due to net income of $4.9 million during the first nine months of 2023, partially offset by a decrease in additional paid in capital from the repurchase of 216,317 shares of our common stock totaling $3.0 million at an average price per share of $13.82.

Average Balance Sheets
The following tables set forth average balance sheets, average annualized yields and costs, and certain other information for the periods indicated. No tax-equivalent yield adjustments have been made, as the effects would be immaterial. All average balances are monthly average balances. Non-accrual loans were included in the computation of average balances. The yields set forth below include the effect of deferred fees, discounts, and premiums that are amortized or accreted to interest income or interest expense.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table presents the effects of changing rates and volumes on our net interest income for the periods indicated. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The total column represents the sum of the prior columns. For purposes of this table, changes attributable to both rate and volume, which cannot be segregated, have been allocated proportionately based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
General. Net income was $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was caused by an increase in interest expense offset partially by an increase in interest income.
Interest Income. Interest income increased $2.8 million, or 34.1%, to $11.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was due to increases in all categories of interest-earning assets. Interest income on loans increased $1.4 million, or 7.8%, to $9.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $7.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The average yield on loans increased 67 basis points to 5.47% for the current quarter, as compared to 4.80% for the prior year period, due to the continued changes in the interest rate environment. In addition, our average balance of loans increased by $21.3 million, or 3.3%, to $660.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $639.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The average balance of loans increased due to steady loan demand.
Interest income on interest-earning deposits and federal funds increased $700,000 to $889,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $189,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The average balance of interest-earning deposits and federal funds increased $29.5 million to $68.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $39.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as we held excess cash to increase liquidity, as described above. In addition, the yields we received on these funds increased to 5.12% from 1.91% due to the continued changes in the interest rate environment.
Interest income on available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities increased $697,000 to $986,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $289,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The average balance of held-to-maturity securities was $34.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to zero for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as we began to classify some new purchases as held-to-maturity.
30
Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $3.7 million to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $698,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022, due to increases in the average balances of interest-bearing liabilities as well as the rates paid on such liabilities.
We recognized increases in all categories of interest-bearing liabilities. Interest expense on deposits increased to $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $625,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The largest increase was in interest expense on certificates of deposit, which increased $2.0 million to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The average rate we paid on certificates of deposit increased 262 basis points to 3.90% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 1.28% for the three months ended September 30, 20222, due to the continued changes in the interest rate environment. In addition, the average balance of certificates of deposit increased $142.4 million to $232.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $89.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022, as we believe customers increased deposits in higher-yielding accounts during the current interest rate environment in addition to the brokered deposits we took out during the first quarter to enhance liquidity. We also experienced increases of $887,000 in interest expense on money market accounts from $987,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 and savings accounts of $382,000 to $569,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, due to increases in the rates we paid on these accounts of 250 basis points and 187 basis points, respectively.
Interest expense on borrowings increased to $208,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $73,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. We increased borrowings during the first quarter of 2023 to increase our liquidity position in response to recent market events, including the closures of Signature Bank and Silicon Valley Bank.
Net Interest Income. Net interest income decreased $625,000, or 8.3%, to $6.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Our net interest rate spread decreased to 2.48% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 3.88% for the three months ended September 30, 2022, and our net interest margin decreased to 3.36% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from 4.12% for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as the rates we paid on interest-bearing liabilities increased faster than the yields we earned on our interest-earning assets, and as we paid off FHLB advances and recognized $1.0 million in accretion from fair value adjustments during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Our average net interest-earning assets decreased to $247.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $279.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Provision for Credit Losses. The provisions for credit losses consists of provisions for credit losses for loans and unfunded loan commitments, as well as held-to-maturity securities.
Provisions for credit losses for loans are charged to operations to establish an allowance for credit losses at a level necessary to absorb known and inherent losses in our loan portfolio that are both probable and reasonably estimable at the date of the consolidated financial statements. In evaluating the level of the allowance for credit losses for loans, management analyzes several qualitative loan portfolio risk factors including, but not limited to, management’s ongoing review and grading of loans, facts and issues related to specific loans, historical loan loss and delinquency experience, trends in past due and non-accrual loans, existing risk characteristics of specific loans or loan pools, the fair value of underlying collateral, current economic conditions and other qualitative and quantitative factors which could affect potential credit losses.
Provisions for credit losses for unfunded commitments are charged to operations to establish an allowance for credit losses for contractual obligations to extend credit. The estimate includes consideration of the likelihood that funding will occur and an estimate of expected credit losses on commitments expected to be funded over its estimated life. The estimate is influenced by historical loss experience, adjusted for current risk characteristics, and economic factors.
Provisions for credit losses for held-to-maturity securities are also charged to operations to establish an allowance on a collective basis by major security type. The estimate of expected credit losses for held-to-maturity securities considers historical credit loss information that is adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. See “—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for additional information.
After an evaluation of these factors, we recorded no provision for credit losses for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to a provision of $187,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Our allowance for credit losses was $9.2 million at September 30, 2023 , and $9.3 at December 31, 2022 and September 30, 2022. The allowance for credit losses to total loans was 1.39% at September 30, 2023 compared to 1.46% at December 31, 2022 and 1.43% at September 30, 2022. The allowance for credit losses to non-performing loans was 120.6% at September 30, 2023 compared to 138.8% at December 31, 2022 and 128.4% at September 30, 2022. Net charge-offs were $41,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net loan recoveries of $133,000 for the three months ended September 31, 2022.
31
To the best of our knowledge, we have recorded all credit losses that are both probable and reasonable to estimate at September 30, 2023. However, future changes in the factors described above, including, but not limited to, actual loss experience with respect to our loan portfolio, could result in material increases in our provision for credit losses. In addition, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, as an integral part of its examination process, periodically reviews our allowance for credit losses, and as a result of such reviews, we may have to adjust our allowance for credit losses. However, regulatory agencies are not directly involved in the process of establishing the allowance for credit losses as the process is our responsibility and any increase or decrease in the allowance is the responsibility of management.
Non-interest Income. Non-interest income increased $37,000, or 6.2%, to $630,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $593,000. There were no material changes in any categories of non-interest income.

We incurred FHLB prepayment penalties as we repaid FHLB advances in the first quarter of 2022, but recognized $1.0 million of fair value adjustments in making such repayments.
Income Tax Expense. We recorded income tax expense of $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The effective tax rate was 23.6% for both periods.
Management of Market Risk
General. Our most significant form of market risk is interest rate risk because, as a financial institution, the majority of our assets and liabilities are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Therefore, a principal part of our operations is to manage interest rate risk and limit the exposure of our financial condition and results of operations to changes in market interest rates. Our Asset/Liability Management Committee is responsible for evaluating the interest rate risk inherent in our assets and liabilities, for determining the level of risk that is appropriate, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the policy and guidelines approved by our board of directors. We currently utilize a third-party modeling program, prepared on a quarterly basis, to evaluate our sensitivity to changing interest rates, given our business strategy, operating environment, capital, liquidity and performance objectives, and for managing this risk consistent with the guidelines approved by the board of directors.
We have sought to manage our interest rate risk in order to minimize the exposure of our earnings and capital to changes in interest rates. We have implemented the following strategies to manage our interest rate risk:
34
By following these strategies, we believe that we are better positioned to react to increases in market interest rates. In addition, we originate adjustable-rate, one-to-four-family residential real estate loans and home equity loans and lines of credit, which are originated with adjustable interest rates.
We do not engage in hedging activities, such as engaging in futures, options or swap transactions, or investing in high-risk mortgage derivatives, such as collateralized mortgage obligation residual interests, real estate mortgage investment conduit residual interests or stripped mortgage-backed securities.
Net Interest Income. We analyze our sensitivity to changes in interest rates through a net interest income model. Net interest income is the difference between the interest income we earn on our interest-earning assets, such as loans and securities, and the interest we pay on our interest-bearing liabilities, such as deposits and borrowings. We estimate what our net interest income would be for a 12-month period. We then calculate what the net interest income would be for the same period under the assumptions that the United States Treasury yield curve increases or decreases instantaneously by 200 and 400 basis point increments, with changes in interest rates representing immediate and permanent, parallel shifts in the yield curve. A basis point equals one-hundredth of one percent, and 100 basis points equals one percent. An increase in interest rates from 3% to 4% would mean, for example, a 100 basis point increase in the “Change in Interest Rates” column below.
The table below sets forth, as of September 30, 2023, the calculation of the estimated changes in our net interest income that would result from the designated immediate changes in the United States Treasury yield curve.

(1) Assumes an immediate uniform change in interest rates at all maturities.
The table above indicates that at September 30, 2023, in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would have experienced a 0.87% decrease in net interest income, and in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would have experienced a 4.20% decrease in net interest income. At September 30, 2022, in the event of an instantaneous parallel 200 basis point increase in interest rates, we would have experienced a 1.86% decrease in net interest income, and in the event of an instantaneous 200 basis point decrease in interest rates, we would have experienced a 7.32% decrease in net interest income.
Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodologies used in the above interest rate risk measurement. Modeling changes require making certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates. In this regard, the net interest income table presented assumes that the composition of our interest-sensitive assets and liabilities existing at the beginning of a period remains constant over the period being measured and assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. Accordingly, although the net interest income table provides an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to and do not provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on net interest income and will differ from actual results. Furthermore, although certain assets and liabilities may have similar maturities or periods to repricing, they may react in different degrees to changes in market interest rates. Additionally, certain assets, such as adjustable-rate loans, have features that restrict changes in interest rates both on a short-term basis and over the life of the asset.
Interest rate risk calculations also may not reflect the fair values of financial instruments. For example, decreases in market interest rates can increase the fair values of our loans, deposits and borrowings.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity describes our ability to meet the financial obligations that arise in the ordinary course of business. Liquidity is primarily needed to meet the borrowing and deposit withdrawal requirements of our customers and to fund current and planned expenditures. Our primary sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest payments on loans and securities, proceeds from the sale of loans, and proceeds from maturities of securities. We also have the ability to borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. At September 30, 2023, we had a $219.2 million line of credit with the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta, with advances of $20.0 million outstanding and a $12.5 million letter of credit outstanding, and we had a $5.0 million unsecured federal funds line of credit, a $7.5 million unsecured federal funds line of credit, and a $20.0 million unsecured federal funds line of credit. We also have a line of $70.9 million with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta Discount Window secured by $102.5 million in loans. No amount was outstanding on the unsecured lines of credit or the Discount Window at September 30, 2023.
While maturities and scheduled amortization of loans and securities are predictable sources of funds, deposit flows and loan prepayments are greatly influenced by general interest rates, economic conditions, and competition. Our most liquid assets are cash and short-term investments including interest-bearing demand deposits. The levels of these assets are dependent on our operating, financing, lending, and investing activities during any given period.
Our cash flows are comprised of three primary classifications: cash flows from operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Net cash used in investing activities was $29.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to $67.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Net cash used in investing activities typically consists primarily of disbursements for loan originations and purchases of investment securities. Net cash provided by financing activities, which consists primarily of activity in deposit accounts and proceeds/repayments of FHLB advances, and a stock repurchase program, was $58.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 which included repaying $55.0 million of FHLB borrowings, borrowing $65.0 million in FHLB advances and repurchasing stock of $3.0 million, compared to net cash used in financing activities of $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, which included repaying $143.0 million of FHLB borrowings, borrowing $105.0 million in FHLB advances and repurchasing stock of $5.3 million.
We are committed to maintaining a strong liquidity position. In the first quarter, in order to further enhance liquidity, we issued $85.6 million of brokered deposits and borrowed $45.0 million in advances from the FHLB. During the second quarter, $4.0 million of brokered deposits matured, $15.0 million of FHLB borrowings matured, and an additional $20.0 million of FHLB borrowings was prepaid that was issued in first quarter of 2023. During the third quarter, $9.0 million of brokered deposits matured. We monitor our liquidity position on a daily basis. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds to meet our current funding commitments. Based on our deposit retention experience and current pricing strategy, we anticipate that a significant portion of maturing time deposits will be retained.
At September 30, 2023, we exceeded all of our regulatory capital requirements and the Bank is categorized as “well capitalized.” Management is not aware of any conditions or events since the most recent notification that would change our category. The Bank’s actual capital amounts and ratios for September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are presented in the table below (in thousands).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Aggregate Contractual Obligations
Commitments. As a financial services provider, we routinely are a party to various financial instruments with off-balance-sheet risks, such as commitments to extend credit and unused lines of credit. While these contractual obligations represent our future cash requirements, a significant portion of commitments to extend credit may expire without being drawn upon. Such commitments are subject to the same credit policies and approval process accorded to loans we make. At September 30, 2023, we had outstanding commitments to originate loans of $76.5 million. We anticipate that we will have sufficient funds available to meet our current lending commitments. Time deposits that are scheduled to mature in less than one year from September 30, 2023 totaled $73.9 million. Management expects that a substantial portion of the maturing time deposits will be renewed. However, if a substantial portion of these deposits is not retained, we may utilize FHLB advances or raise interest rates on deposits to attract new accounts, which may result in higher levels of interest expense.
Contractual Obligations. In the ordinary course of our operations, we enter into certain contractual obligations. Such obligations include data processing services, operating leases for premises and equipment, agreements with respect to borrowed funds and deposit liabilities.
